Iss help

Hi I can't find this answer on the Internet.
How will the astronauts get to and from the iss once the space shuttle stops flying.
Thanks in advance.

Visual & Packet same pass

The time of the visual was around 00:53 UTC. This was the first time that my wife has got to see the iss. K8JMH Jeff EM88XU

New Tracking

Hello,

as you can see a new Tracking block is active.
This version has a few differences:
- you don't need to be registered in order to predict passes.
- the tracking happens on the main page. You can quickly check a pass without moving from where you are
- the countdown feature is back
- if you don't provide your QTH I will try to guess it starting from your IP address (once you select a QTH your selection is stored and always used)
- the orbit line is displayed on the tracking list

I think that it should be easier to use than the last version.

visual of iss

On 2/11/11 at 11:18z got a visual on the iss. Clear cold morning 7degrees, iss was at 68 degrees elevation came from 306 azimuth and departed at 135 azimuth. Was planning to do packet also but the digi would ID but there wasn't any packet, from me or anyone else coming down. This is a sight that everyone should see, and with a little planning it can happen. Good Luck! K8JMH
